Performance testing has supported web app peak analysis but needs better setup and smarter scripting
Regarding points for improvement for OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Enterprise), I see that features are not being fully developed yet. If OpenText could think about bringing AI features into the tool, it could save maximum time in scripting or make scripting effortless, particularly in correlation, which is where the complexity involved in script development exists. If any AI features could replace or eliminate more manual work on the correlation part, that is where we could see a game-changing improvement for the tool. OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Enterprise) can be positioned very well in the market. However, I see that the basic correlations are only being handled by the autocorrelation engine in the LoadRunner tool, and I would expect a few improvements to handle even complex correlation problems so that the tool can be appropriately positioned compared to their peers.

Need improvements ,but has cloud and on-premises options
The solution is not in an optimal state. During POC, we analyzed tool is kept on upgrading. The patch deployment is happening in parallel, things that are working today are not working tomorrow. We eventually sorted it out with help of CSM. We integrated this tool with other software such as Azure client, but many times without a valid or visible reason, the connectivity was breaking. Improvement suggestions- The dashboard creation for the reporting needs to be easier. Currently, the solution does not support multiple script executions and we would like to see support for this.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is a great product that provides one with an extensive amount of functionality."
"We implemented through the vendor, who used highly-skilled professionals."
"Overall, I am satisfied with this product."
"We are able to connect and run tests from different locations with this tool."
"LoadRunner Enterprise's most valuable features are load simulation and creating correlation for parameters."
"LoadRunner Enterprise's price is high, but it gives more value for money than some cheaper alternatives."
"We can measure metrics like hits per second and detect deviations or issues through graphs. We can filter out response times based on timings and identify spikes in the database or AWS reports."
"With LoadRunner Enterprise, doing various types of performance testing, load testing, and automation testing has been very helpful for some of the teams."
"You can utilize this tool on the cloud, and also access application on-premises. That is a very good part of the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the support for Java, where we can quickly code what we need."
"Their technical support is awesome."
 

Cons

"Why they use other tools, that's where I would say there's some poly-functionality that has to be improved in the product."
"The solution is expensive."
"I think some enhanced support, be it online or documentation, would be appreciated."
"It's not that popular on the cloud."
"Running virtual users especially with a huge number is a very challenging task. The load generators may over utilize its resources (CPU/ memory) due to improper default configurations, or improper use of LoadRunner and Performance Center."
"Micro Focus's technical support could be more responsive."
"Micro Focus LoadRunner Enterprise needs to add more features for Citrix performance-based applications testing. This was one of the challenges we observed. Additionally, we experienced some APIs challenges."
"I have seen some users report some issues, but I have personally not had any issues."
"The performance of the tool needs to improve."
"We used an implementation strategy to deploy the solution, not because of the tools, but mainly because of the scripting part of the tool."
"The solution lacks a little bit in the reporting features."
"The solution is quite immature, it is not in an optimal state."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We used the Professional version and then moved to the enterprise version. We have subscribed to 1000 user licenses. The tool will be super expensive if we take up 5,000 user licenses. We have to limit ourselves on testing."
"We got a very good deal. We are happy with that. We have 5,000 licenses."
"It does everything you could hope for in a performance testing solution. It's not cheap."
"This solution can be expensive."
"For Performance Center, you have to add additional load generators, and then you can do more. I think it is a matter of the price, in terms of how many machines you can buy."
"LoadRunner Enterprise's price is high."
"They have a much more practical pricing model now."
"The price is really steep. It's an enterprise-level tool."
"This solution is in the average price range compared to other testing tools."
"The only positive point is it came free with my test automation tool."
